Greetings, my Nerds!
Haven't talked as much as much on my take on Transformers toys. In particularly, the ladies of both 'Bots and 'Cons. But in case anyone does ask, thus far my fave Auto-Gal has gotta be the recent Legacy Evolution Windblade. Transforming her is fun, and I so can't wait to have her Toyhax decals. ^^
But no, I'm talking about Arcee. Yes, the 'SS86' version is leaps and bounds over her 'Earthrise' figure. But I'm talking about her blue version, not pink. What the hell do I mean? The Legacy Prime Arcee of course. Because I am just seeing so much hate on the figure. How come I'm not seeing this with Kingdom Tracks? Cuz that piece of crap truly deserves the once over! Oh, and Road Rage, what've they done to ya, lass?!
Now when I started collecting Transformer figures again back in 2019, I bought certain figures from the different Transformer toylines that tickled my fancy. Of course, among then were the first edition TF:Prime Arcee and another one that was from a TF:Prime toyline from like 2013(?). And I gotta be honest, those toys really did nothing for me back in 2019. The First edition Arcee was just fiddley, especially in the chest believe it or not. But when I got the Legacy Prime Arcee, I was totally into it. Yes, I will say this right off the bat, the wheels on the side of her legs is daunting at first, but the transformation is clean once you get the hang of it. Cuz Hasbro suck with their instructions sometimes! And I like the toys we got from this mold. Again this is just my take about a toy. Love it or hate it, it's just an opinion at the end of the day. And me, I love the toy. Definitely get the Toyhax decals and its upgrade kits; much better armblades than those translucent blue pieces of crap she came with.
Just wanted to get that off my titanium chest. Thanks for your time ^^

Which reminds me that I need to get a Legacy Elita-1 still. I thought about getting Strongarm, but man...I think they overdid it on the lips.
Not saying that they're bad figures of course, while I don't own the Legacy Arcee, I do own her mold via Shattered Glass Flamewar, and I'm quite pleased with it.
But yeah, I just think they could have done slightly better at adapting the prime characters to resemble G1 but still resemble their own universe, I mean, the Animated ones managed to do that better than these...and that's saying something
And very true, and yea, TF:Prime's isn't really worth all the hype people make it out to be. Its lore is so dull at times, and I HATED that Unicron was the planet Earth itself.
Only thing missing is a removable face mask, but with the open window packaging I understand.
And besides, I'm more upset with the Studio Series ROTB Arcee
I got that little Arcee, I think she's okay. Then again I paid 5 dollars for her, so I might be biased.
